Emergency Plumbing in Epsom
In Epsom, emergencies often come from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semi-detached houses and newer flats, where age of pipework and the way the building has been altered both play a part. We know the roads around Epsom Downs, Epsom Common and the Ashley Centre and plan accordingly.
Epsom is where we are based, on Cox Lane, so a lot of our day to day work is close to the town centre.
A plumbing emergency rarely arrives at a convenient moment. A pipe lets go in the night, a toilet overflows through the ceiling below, or the boiler dies on the coldest evening of the year. What you need first is someone who picks up the phone and tells you what to do right now.
What it covers
- Burst and split pipes, including frozen pipes that have failed
- Leaking joints, valves, taps and fittings
- Overflowing toilets, sinks and baths
- Loss of hot water or heating that cannot wait

Turn off the water at the stopcock, which is usually under the kitchen sink or near the front door. Switch off the electrics in any wet area if it is safe to do so, and move valuables away from the water.
Your address and nearest cross road, where the water is coming from, whether you have found the stopcock, and whether anyone in the property is vulnerable. A photo helps if you can send one. Include your road in Epsom so we can plan the visit.
Common causes are frozen pipes that split on thawing, old joints and corroded fittings, worn washers and valves, and pressure surges. Ageing pipework in older properties is a frequent factor. Epsom sits on chalk, so the water is hard and limescale builds up in kettles, taps, showers and boiler heat exchangers.

Usually under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs cupboard, in the hall, or where the supply pipe enters the house. In flats it may be in a shared cupboard.

Yes. Our address is 47a Cox Lane, Epsom, KT19 9NA, and Epsom is the town we work in most often. That means Epsom enquiries are close to home for us rather than a long drive across the county.
It can. Epsom is built on chalk, so limescale collects in showers, taps, hot water cylinders and boilers. Over time it restricts flow and reduces efficiency. A descale, a flush or a water treatment fitting can help, depending on what we find.
Yes. Older terraces often have pipework that has been altered many times, with old and new materials joined together. We look at what is actually in the walls and floors before suggesting any repair, so the fix lasts.
